Mike Gallagher Podcast

Mike and Mark recount their exchanges with radio listeners on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, while remembering their own very different experiences of the day itself, with Mike on the radio in the Empire State building, and Mark on a beach in Mexico.

Mike marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, by looking back at the morning that changed America forever—and revisiting the raw audio from his own broadcast inside the Empire State Building as the attacks unfolded. He remembers the confusion and fear of those first moments, the frantic efforts to keep the show on the air, and the people who were suddenly forced to confront the unimaginable. Mike also reconnects with longtime colleague Joey Hudson to reminisce about how they communicated in the days before smartphones and how 9/11 changed even the most ordinary parts of American life. And 25 years later, as TSA begins allowing some travelers to once again bring loved ones to the gate, Mike asks whether America is finally beginning to reclaim traditions that disappeared after that terrible day.

25 years later, Mark and Mike recall their experiences on the morning on September 11, 2001.

Mike honors the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk one year after his assassination, reflecting on the remarkable impact his friend and Salem Media colleague made in just 31 years. Pastor Frank Turek, a close friend and mentor to Charlie who was with him when he was killed, joins Mike to remember Charlie’s leadership, his faith, and the issues he cared most deeply about. They also confront the ugly conspiracy theories and accusations that have emerged since Charlie’s death and the toll they have taken on his family and those closest to him. Above all, Mike and Pastor Turek reflect on Charlie’s enduring influence and the thousands of people who say his life and message brought them closer to their faith.

One year after the horrifying assassination of Charlie Kirk, Mike and Mark remember that titan of conservatism and the founder of Turning Point USA.

The special tells the story of how Charlie started Turning Point USA in his parents’ garage and built it into one of the largest youth organizations in the country, becoming the most consequential conservative voice of his generation.

Narrated by Mike Gallagher, Larry O’Connor, and Alex Marlow, with a special appearance by Larry Elder, the program will tell Charlie’s remarkable story largely through his own voice, including rare audio from his first interview with longtime host Dennis Prager when Charlie was just 22 years old.

The program draws from rare archival interviews and recordings, along with stories from those who knew Charlie throughout his rise from a young activist to a national conservative leader. More than anything, it will give you another chance to hear Charlie as you remember him: in his own voice.

Joey Hudson, filling in for Mike, takes a look at the Republican Party’s unprecedented midterm convention in Dallas, where the goal is simple: turn the Trump-era enthusiasm into votes in November. With Donald Trump positioned as the party’s “greatest showman,” Joey examines how Republicans are hoping to put Trump’s name, policies and record at the center of the midterm fight. But there’s another side to the Dallas gathering: eye-popping fundraising prices, including $250,000 for a roundtable with the president and $35,000 for a photo with Vice President J.D. Vance. Joey also questions whether a convention this expensive can really energize ordinary voters—and whether the major networks’ limited coverage could leave much of America unaware that the “greatest midterm show on Earth” is even happening.

Mike goes solo today, as he takes out his crystal ball to discuss the future of Artificial Intelligence in our world.

Joey Hudson, filling in for Mike, digs into the fallout from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, including the more than $1.2 million raised for her parents and the growing debate over whether that kind of public support has gone too far. He examines the questions surrounding Clancy’s mental health defense, the possibility of a retrial, and her attorney’s unusual appeal to President Trump for a pardon. Joey also addresses the conspiracy theories targeting Clancy’s ex-husband and whether those spreading accusations could face defamation lawsuits. Then the conversation turns to the price of politics, as Joey breaks down the eye-popping costs of attending the GOP’s upcoming midterm gathering—including tens of thousands of dollars for access and photos with top Republican officials—and asks when fundraising crosses the line into excess.

Mike and Mark look at the internal Republican struggle as the establishment seeks to resist the MAGA transition; then, the corresponding Democrat phenomenon, but it’s their establishment that may save them.

Mike digs into the latest developments in the Lindsay Clancy trial, where a lone juror appears to be standing between a verdict and a potential mistrial after six days of deliberations. He questions how the case reached this point and takes aim at the growing public sympathy and support for Clancy, arguing that the three children she admitted to killing should not be forgotten amid the debate over postpartum psychosis and mental illness. Mike also speaks with a mother who has spent decades navigating the mental-health system for her son, offering a different perspective on the failures surrounding treatment and accountability. As the jury remains deadlocked, Mike asks the uncomfortable question at the heart of the case: where is the line between understanding mental illness and holding someone responsible for horrific violence?

Mike and Mark walk the line between privacy concerns and law enforcement benefits in tracking the debate over Flock cameras; then it's time to speculate about the holdup in the Lindsay Clancy jury room.

Mike tackles the growing influence of far-left extremism, from the disturbing celebration of political violence to increasingly radical positions on issues like voter ID. He examines the rhetoric surrounding recent acts of violence and asks how Americans can have a productive conversation with people who believe political enemies can be justified targets. Mike also takes a closer look at Texas Senate candidate James Talarico’s comments on voter ID and what they reveal about the ideological divide heading into the 2026 elections. Plus, Mike recounts his hilariously awkward encounter with far-left Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed at the airport—and the two words he immediately wished he could take back...

Mike shares with Mark his chance encounter with a DSA congressional candidate at a New York Airport.

Mark describes the obstructions of soft Republicans in Texas and around the country as the necessity arises for unity to defeat James Talarico.

Joey Hudson, sitting in for Mike, breaks down a revealing House vote in which 192 Democrats refused to support a resolution condemning socialism. With Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates gaining ground and Zohran Mamdani helping push the movement further into the mainstream, Joey asks whether socialism is becoming the new Democratic Party playbook. He also looks at the staggering amounts of money pouring into the 2026 midterms and why Republicans should be taking the battleground Senate races seriously. And as the election approaches, Joey argues conservatives can't afford to sit back and assume victory—they need to make their case and turn voters out.

Mark plots a course for GOP success to the midterms with 63 days to go; local mayor in Mississippi pushes back against lowering flags for Dolly Parton; Lindsay Clancy jury deadlocked.

Joey Hudson fills in for Mike and runs through the Trump administration’s biggest claimed accomplishments, from border enforcement and tax cuts to energy production, deregulation, and lower prescription drug costs. He also tackles the political reality facing Republicans heading into the midterms, including a caller’s blunt warning that younger voters may care more about affordability and the economy than a list of policy wins. The conversation turns heated over Iran, with callers debating whether the U.S. should stay the course or bring the conflict to an end. Joey also digs into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ decision to remove Flock cameras, the White House ballroom fight, massive political spending, and the latest legal developments.

With Mike away briefly, Mark gets us ready for a midterm election that may find the war still raging and gas still around four dollars; then he shares details of solutions floated to the data center and Flock camera controversies.

Joey Hudson fills in for Mike and opens the week with a look at President Trump’s latest escalation against Iran, including U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets and the president’s warning that Iran will not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. He also takes on a growing Democratic push to expand the Supreme Court, with Congressman James Clyburn backing a “baker’s dozen” of 13 justices and raising questions about what could happen if Democrats regain control of Congress. Meanwhile, the Trump administration announces a sweeping crackdown on illegal truck drivers and fraudulent CDL practices, targeting driving schools accused of serious violations and networks involved in drug and human trafficking. Joey also breaks down the latest fight with Canada, Trump’s battle with NBC, rising grocery prices, and the stakes of the upcoming midterm elections.
